Blount County

there's different areas of the state that are bad.

I mean, you can go over to Blount County and Barryville to Alcoa.

Alcoa has won 10-10.

I think they've almost tied the record for consecutive state titles.

Yeah, a little bit of the damage from, I've seen and, and, you know, just thankful that I don't think anybody in that area, you know, there wasn't any life, life, life loss during the storm.

No, it was Birmingham and, like, somewhere in Blount County or something-

Yeah

... where the lives were lost.

I mean, there's a few black kids there, but it's mostly white.

It's out in Blount County.

Well, come on.

Give me some.

Where do you,

where do you hunt? So, uh, we own some land in Blount County.

Uh, we, I've had that land since I was 12 years old.

My granddaddy bought the first piece, and then my dad's added on to it over the years.

There's some real changes in this state, like, like serious changes in the electorate, and you need, you need to be aware of it, you need to take it seriously.

Look, i- if you look at where Jefferson County was, and then the, the f- the, the folks that moved out, they moved to St. Clair County, to Blount County, to Shelby County, that is why, uh, you've s- seen the changes in the countywide races, um, that is, that occurred at the courthouse.

Um, and, and you're, you, you could potentially see some of that in Madison County.

I don't think we've seen as much of it i- in Mo- Mobile.

I was hunting native.

Like Blount County, wasn't it? Yeah, I was hunting deer, but they had some elk in there.

And they liked your vehicle.

Yeah, and of course, you know, you can only take a certain amount, and they go nocturnal anyway.

I'm Jonathan Goode.

Right now, we're going to head up toward Blount County, Alabama.

I've got Mr. Chris Hutzler on with us.

Chris is the owner of Common Ground Outdoors, and always good to talk to him.
